Have you ever walked past the mirror and said to yourself "uugh, I look so ugly today!" Well honey I'm here to tell you that we all do it! I find myself saying these harsh words when I have been in the house for too long, or sometimes I might not even realize that it's been weeks since I've got my eyebrows threaded until it hits me that day!I remember those 1st few weeks after I had Zahara I was a HOT mess! I was home all day with her wearing my signature wife beater and sweat pants with a messy bun on top of my head and no polish on my uneven nails! I would have stains on my clothes from either milk, baby food or throw up, and the little time I had to myself was still time spent making sure that she wasn't half the mess I was! Almost 5 years later and I am looking down at my outfit realizing I have on the same thing but this time my wife beater is stained with random stains from seasoning and oil that must have popped while I was cooking.
Anyway...the point of all this is to talk about a few easy things to do to feel pretty when you're home alone with the baby or maybe home alone bored while your husband/boyfriend is at work.
#1 Change that dirty tank top! Just put on a clean 1, I promise you will feel better!
#2 Keep your legs shaved and toes painted even if its the winter time! I always feel cute with pretty pink toes :)
#3 Take off that damn scarf even if you have no plans on leaving the house. Nobody is cute wearing an ugly floral bandana or black hair bonnet all day! If you really have some free time you should curl or flat iron your hair just for the hell of it!
#4 Put on some earrings!
Last but not least #5, do your makeup & tweeze those brows if you can't make it out the house to get them done!!! I was never into makeup until recently but now a little eyeliner is a must with this short haircut!
Here are a few pics of our favorite celebs without makeup. As you can see we all need that extra boost some times:
"If I could change one part it would be my feet. After all the years dancing they’re a little beat up. And I wear big earrings because I don’t like my ears.” -Beyonce
